Download iTunes Store ringtones straight from iPhone FREE

[mfleigle]

I'm pretty sure this is ok to post since I is the basically the same method as getting icons from the appstore. These steps do not hack iTunes servers all they do is download the 30 second preview iTunes plays. Since all ringtones in the store are under 30 seconds you can grab them in full quality.


Apps I use:
iFile
SafariDownloadPlugin (the one in Cydia Store, I havent checked the free download plugin)



Open iTunes
Find Ringtone you want (I'm going to use Halloween Theme 2007)
Preview the ringtone, then close iTunes
Open iFile and navigate to /var/tmp/MediaCache
Open diskcacherepository.plist
You will see a link like "http://a1474.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/028/Music/db/de/69/mzm.dpvpdlmp.aac.p.m4p"
Copy the link
Open Safari and paste the link
Download the ringtone
Re-open iFile and navigate to the Downloads folder (var/mobile/Library/Downloads I believe)
Rename "mzm.dpvpdlmp.aac.p.m4p" to "Halloween.m4r"
Copy/Cut the file to "/var/stash/Ringtones"
Open Settings and set your new ringtone.


PS. I always delete the MediaCache folder before starting


Note to mods: I am simply showing people how to download the previews from ringtones and set them as ringtones. Previews are 100% free, I AM NOT STEALING!

Previews count as stealing? Last I checked the Previews are free. I do not hack there servers. It's no different than saving a youtube video with Mxtube/YourTube. I will post the instructions if I can, but it actually no different than grabbing the full sized icons from the appstore

For example Apple clearly shows the previews url if you hover over a preview on their site:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/s...a/bad-romance/

Ok here is a better way and you use your own songs so it's not cracked...

Make custom free ringtones for iPhone 3GS using only iTunes

hope this isn't illegal (i mean illegal on the forum)

this is what I use. Since you already bought your song, you're just basically cropping it

Not the same thing. My method grabs the iTunes premade ringtones straight from the phone. No pc/mac iTunes
